What is Donagh Meyler's strike rate?

Donagh Meyler has won 149 of 1,563 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Donagh Meyler do best at?

Fairyhouse by strike rate: 22 wins from 154 rides (14.3%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

Which yard does Donagh Meyler ride most for?

Emmet Mullins, with 257 rides since 2022 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (15.2%).

What is Donagh Meyler's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 1,563 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 310 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (141 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Downpatrick (17%, n=47), clear of the rider's 9.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.7% (n=141, Fair A/E 1.10), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.6% (n=354, Fair A/E 0.64). Emmet Mullins supplies 16% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.2% vs 9.5%, A/E 0.95). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 3.7% over 136 rides, 5.8pts below the baseline. 31 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2026, £269,500). The standout partner of the record: Colms Dream (IRE) — 5 wins from 13 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.
